I know they have different part numbers for example 991.375.059.## and 981.375.059.## although nearly the same, the parts themselves look identical. The reason I ask is that I can get a brand new one from a GT3 for £400, vs the usual £1000+. Just wondering if anyone knew if the parts were identical and could fit a 981?

Usually when Porsche bothered to make a p/n that start with 981 they did so because they had to - they really love using parts with 991 and even 997 at the front if they can. But who knows in this case.

I do have 2 of these 981 mounts lying around from my 2015 GTS which I swapped to solid mounts (race car, wouldn't recommend for street).

They're over in Belgium still, could ship one to the UK for like half of the GT3 one if you don't mind used.

Could well be interested. And maybe for both of them, as I've heard they are not particularly reliable. How many miles on them before you swapped them out?

I'll drop you a PM.

Edit - actually you don't seem to have enough posts yet to send or receive PMs lol.

I swapped them out for solids at about 14K miles last year. I'm not sure how common failures are, apparently some will break soon and others will go on forever. Bad batch somewhere maybe. I have a second GTS (Boxster) of the same age but with about twice the miles and both mounts are still fine.

Up to you if you want one or two, if only one I'll keep the second as a spare for my other car.

I had seen a post saying someone got a 991 salvage yard part and it worked, but I was scared away by the fact that there is a different part number.
If anyone in the US sees this and happens to have a take-off they'd sell me, I'm still driving around with the light on the dash. I need a right side.

I'm pretty sure there is no ”left” or ”right” and the same part is used for both sides.
